There are other sources of international railway information in my links section.
And just to prove I never relax even on holiday......
There is lots of information available on European and American steam so I'm not going to fill my pages with well-established links. But there must be other pages out there for people interested in Asian and World Steam. Where are you?
Michael Powell used to run the China Rail Study Group which had specific information for visitors and armchair enthusiasts, it is no longer available, but many of the reports are available on http://rcswww.urz.tu-dresden.de/~fm765083/index/ch98_onl.htm. (Thanks to Florian Menius)
Check out Hugh Odom's pages which have a refreshingly international viewpoint for someone who lives in the USA.
Check out Frank Engel's pages - now in English (in part).
Robin Gibbons maintains his own pages which feature his regular trips to China.
Paul Marshall has a number of pictures of working steam around the world from a while back: http://www.pmphoto.btinternet.co.uk/world/index.html
